Octomon proves she will do what she wants

pentaluda0878 Octomom gave up her right to privacy the minute she had children. Whatever privacy she may have had between her first 6 and herself, was blown right out of the water with the 8. She has jeopardized the custody of all those children by firing the help. Alred had already filed a complaint against Octomom awhile back, but had offered her the help of the nursing group if Octomom had answered the complaint by a certain deadline. She didn't and that's when Dr. Phil had gotten involved and renegotiated the deal. Firing the nurses is tanamount to she might as well pack the kids of and send them off to DSS. Her paranoia has gotten the best of her. How did she know if any of the supoosed reports going to DSS weren't positive, in her favor? I do agree that are families with 8 or more children. My father was a police officer and his partner had 8 children ranging in differnt ages, but he also had a wife, a mother for his family. It was a two parent household. The difference between my father's partner's family and Octomom is that she is a single parent with a documented history of mental illness. Please people, before you go there, I do know that having a mental illness and demonstrating the ability of raising a family does not preclude one's abilty to be able to raise children. Now consider this. Octomom has just thrown the light on that factor as well. She has unconsciously made the question of whether or not a person with a mental illness can raise a family something that will be reconsidered just because of Octomom's own actions. It will be somethng that will be considered in every new case filed against a mother across this Nation, in the family courts, with even the tiniest history of mental illness, by every hot shot lawyer that thinks that they can make it stick. Her case will be what will be cited in those court hearings. Whether it does stick is up to the judge, but every case where Octomom's case is cited will cause undo stress and strain on the mother that has the complaint filed against her. With all the money that was being donated, it was decided that there was enough to set up a trust fund for the children and there was enough money to also buy the house she has now. A seperate household account was set up that included the morgage payments as well. She is not the one in charge of any of it. I think it's either her father or an outside group that is handling that. DCMerkle

You are very right about the mental health issues that this will raise. She has caused a lot of possible changes to come about due to her poor actions, and she has chosen to be in the spotlight, but I still don't agree with it being ok for other people to know every last detail of her existence. EVERYONE deserves some privacy.
